the baltimore ravens were given a one-point lead over the new england patriots and a series of rules that have been botched are driving fans and players crazy. all this because of the labor dispute between the nfl and the regular referees that began when the referees were locked out in june. the referees want more money asking for increasing their salaries from $149,000 to $189,000. compare that to the median nfl player's salary, $770,000 a year. it's important to remember the average nfl playing career is only three-and-a-half years. so these are not full-time jobs for them. the nfl wants to make the refs full-time. the legal also wants to move them from a pension system to a 401(k). but this the context of a business that brings in $9.5 billion a year, it seems relatively solvable. an nfl referee for 25 years who worked two super bowls told me he doesn't blame the replacement refs who have been pulled from small colleges, high schools and lower-level pro leagues. what were they really not ready for at this level of the game? >> it's a combination of speed and things that happen. th

>> well, that one went also in favor of the home team in baltimore. that call happened to be correct. here it is on sunday night football. however, if the credibility of the replacement officials is what it is and it's only getting worse by the week, if you have one of these even if the call happens to be correct, go against a home team, like mike lupika makes a great point in this morning's "new york daily news" with incivility being what it is and with the fan behavior of drinking and barnyard chants on a perceived missed call, there could be a very dangerous situation if one of these calls goes against a home team. >> real quickly, belichick, the penalty against him should be or will be what? >> it will be a substantial fine. i don't think they'll suspend him. >> bob costas, always good to have you. >> you know what annoys me even more than the replacement officials. getting up this early -- >> stop. the whining never stops. the whining. all right. savannah. >> bob, once a year or something. it's every day for us. let's move to politics now. >>> pr
